22 WATER EFFICIENCY (WE) WE PREREQUISITE: INDOOR WATER USE REDUCTION Required EB:O&M This prerequisite applies to Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintence EB:O&M Schools EB:O&M Retail EB:O&M Data Centers EB:O&M Hospitality EB:O&M Warehouses & Distribution Centers EB: O&M Multifamily Intent To reduce indoor water consumption. Requirements EBOM, SCHOOLS, RETAIL, DATA CENTERS, HOSPITALITY, WAREHOUSES & DISTRIBUTION CENTERS, MULTIFAMILY Option 1. Calculated Water Use For the indoor plumbing fixtures and fittings listed in Table 1, reduce water consumption to or below the LEED v4 for Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintence baseline, calculated assuming 100% of the building s indoor plumbing fixtures and fittings meet the flush and flow rates listed in Table 1. The LEED v4 for Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintence water use baseline is set depending on the year of building s occupancy, as follows: For a building with a certificate of occupancy dated 1995 or later, the baseline is 120% of the water use that would result if all fixtures met the code requirements in Table 1. For a building with a certificate of occupancy dated before 1995, the baseline is 150% of the water use that would result if all fixtures met the code requirements in Table 1. Table 1. Fixture and fitting code requirements Fixture or fitting Baseline (IP units) Baseline (SI units) Toilet (water closet) 1.6 gpf 6 lpf Uril 1.0 gpf 3.8 lpf Public lavatory (restroom) faucet 0.5 gpm at 60 psi** all others except private applications 1.9 lpm at 415 kpa, all others except private applications Private lavatory faucet 2.2 gpm at 60 psi 8.3 lpm at 415 kpa Updated to reflect the July 1, 2016 LEED v4 Building Operations and Maintence Addenda 22

Pre-1995 buildings that have had only minor fixture retrofits (e.g., aerators, showerheads, flushing valves) but no plumbing renovations in or after 1995 may use the 150% baseline for the whole building. Calculate fixture and fitting performance to compare the water use of the as-installed fixtures and fittings with the use of Uniform Plumbing Code or Intertiol Plumbing Code-compliant (baseline) fixtures and fittings. Inspect all existing fittings or fixtures to ensure they are operating properly. Make any repairs needed to bring all fixtures into good working order or permanently turn off water supply to nonfunctiol units. Implement a fixture and fitting replacement and retrofit policy specifying that all newly installed toilets, urils, private lavatory faucets, and showerheads that are eligible for labeling be WaterSense labeled (or a local equivalent for projects outside the U.S.). Retail, Hospitality and Schools only Have in place a process and appliance water equipment purchasing policy for the building and site addressing the products listed in Table 2. The policy must cover at least those products purchased within the building and site magement s control. Table 2.
